MySQL comes with a command called 'perror' which translates the Errcode
into a nice string:
$ perror 28
No space left on device
I'm not sure why it doesn't just print that nice string instead of the
number. Maybe to help out scripts which are parsing the output? It
might be possible for 'mysql' to determine that it's being run inter-
actively and to use the human-readable error messages in that case.
